LOGIE Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 My guess is its part of the cooling for a uk spec hood scoop....? circled in red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 i bought a hood scoop and snorkel etc but this wasn't present... doesn't seem to be on ToyoDIY either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yep. It slots into the hood scoop when the bonnet is down. I believe it directs air at the 2nd turbo to keep it cool. Another reason uk specs are better and the turbos last longer I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 I thought the hood scoop was to keep the middle cylinders cool. Not the turbos...surely the intercooler would do that?? UK turbos last longer cause they are steel whereas J-spec are ceramic..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 It's just an assumption on my part. Could equally be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yep. It slots into the hood scoop when the bonnet is down. I believe it directs air at the 2nd turbo to keep it cool. Another reason uk specs are better and the turbos last longer I guess I'm sure the air goes to the fifth and sixth runner on the exhaust manifold to keep it cool at high speed.

thetrashcanman Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I believe it serves two purposes to cool number 5 and number 6 cylinders and the 2 turbo. Obviously that is the job of the intercooler, but extra can't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 That part is the "snorkel". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 It cools the runners on the manifold, the scoop bolts on to the top of the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
